Here comes about fifteen minutes of podcast magic called The Minnesota Goodbye, hosted my
myself, Dave and fallon over here. If you're the first time listening to
this, thank you very much. It's basically stuff we don't get to talk
about on the radio. Can I tell you? It was getting my haircut
the other day? And the word I don't even like to say it.
It's such a vulgar word. People are trying to reclaim the word cunt,
and because it's such a vulgar, powerful, disgusting word that you know,
there's been people who have been fired they called somebody at their place of work
a C word, And they're not all men. Usually the cliche as men
use the C word to disparage a woman. But there was somebody, I
think a sports anchor on ESPN. She got fired for calling another woman the
C word. And then they talk about how why it's such an awful sounding
word, like shit is a bad word, but it's like, ah shit,
you know, but you don't say ah C word. Yeah, it's
just vulgar. They say it's because it's such an abrupt, guttural sounding word,
like is pretty abrupt kind of yeah, but I think it's because F
starts softer like F is like fuck. Say it with me, Fuck,
I don't, I don't cost anymore, so you don't then. But the
C word is so so anyway. People are trying to reclaim it, and
I guess they have been trying to reclaim it for some time, to make
it more of a woman empowering word like sea power or the CE time or
whatever. And they gave some examples, and I thought that was really interesting.
Now why do I bring this up? Because we can't bring it up
on the show? Yea, I would not bring this up on the radio
show. So I just thought it was interesting. Moving on to emails,
which is the heart of the Minnesota Goodbye that get started fear fallon. How
do you deal with your dad on Father's Day? I decided to stop talking
to mine after he wouldn't respond to a simple text of me saying I was
admitted to grad school. I'm tired of him being a narcissist. I decided
to cut him off. My heart hurts as I wish I could celebrate Father's
Day with a loving and caring father, but I know that my expectation wouldn't
be met. Sorry, if it's a sore subject. I just know you've
alluded to a tricky relationship with your dad in the past. Yeah, I
do think my relationship isn't a little tricky with my dad. It's a lot
of my life has been very one sided. But my dad does respond to
things, so we don't. I don't have like a relationship where we're shut
off, you know what I mean. Like, I know he's gonna he
actually calls me. For years he didn't call me. I called him,
and now I think that he's older, he is probably honestly lonelier and maybe
realizes so he does call me, you know, probably every two or three
weeks. I'll be honest, I never answer when he calls. He leaves
me a voicemail, and then I call him back when I want to,
which is usually a week later. Oh I see, I'm going to stop
you there. I don't like that. That would hurt me as a father.
And I know you've got some history. But if I called Beth and
she doesn't call me back within a day or two, I'm hurt. I'm
a little pissed, and I've actually gotten into it because she will not call
back, and it's like show me the courtesy of calling me back within an
appropriate amount of time. Yeah, I mean, I guess maybe if we
had a normal relationship, I would care about that, but I don't care
if that bothers him. I feel like he should have probably been more available
to me as an actual child. What I mean to say, so,
these are the boundaries I have set for myself, and boundaries are very important.
I've learned that through therapy. So anyway, No, I'll call him
back, and it's always, you know, he actually asks how I'm doing,
how Jake's doing, how all of them? Yeah, and so you
know we how I handle fathers, it's simple. I mean, I just
call him. I used to send a card and stress out about sending a
card. I realized I didn't buy a card yet and it's not going to
get to him in time, So I'm not going to send him one.
He doesn't send me birthday cards, and he doesn't care, you know what
I mean. His feelings won't be hurt day he didn't get a card.
I think his feelings would be hurt if I didn't call him. And I'll
call him, you know, so that I mean, I think you could
still text him if you want it if you really wanted to. But if
you've decided to close that relationship, I don't blame you. Okay, we'll
move on to the next one. Let's see. Don't use my name.
I just jump backed into the dating scene. After several years in a relationship,
I started talking to someone on an app. Their age was a bit
higher than mine, but still a comfortable appropriate way. We mabate plans to
meet up next week, so naturally I use my detective skills to find him
on social LinkedIn, etc. To make sure the person is who they say
they are. Come to find out my investigation, he is actually older than
what his dating profile says by six years. So in other words, it
went from like he's four years older, five years older, while he's wait,
he's ten years older, So he's lying. However, he does look
younger and definitely takes care of himself from recent photos I've seen. Also,
he is hot and I was looking forward to meeting with him. There is
a red flag to me, though, that he would lie about his age.
His real age is outside the limit that I set myself. Search a
certain search for what do you think is it common for middle aged women and
men to lie about their age on dating apps. I am new to this
bullshit. Ha love you guys, Anonymous. I would say, I agree
with you, Why lie because they're going to find out that the one of
the first things you told them was a lie. I would mention Rather,
when I go on adult friend Finder, I always say, like, you
know, i'd give my real age because I don't want them to show up
at the red roof in and go, wow, I thought you said you
were forty five. So and I'm given I'm making a joke, but I
would always give my real age because they're gonna look at you and find out,
or if you get into relationship, they're gonna find out, and you
don't want the first thing. I would say, red flag, he lied
about it, And what else will he lie about? If that was so
easy, what else will he lie about? Yeah? I agree, red
flag. I don't know if people will do that, if that's common,
because I'm not. I mean even when I was dating, I was my
dating range was like twenties, thirties. But what I'm guessing is he proved
a point. Okay, so stick with me here. I'm gonna guess some
people think hotter people have stricter standards, so hotter people probably have a smaller
window of what they're willing to date in an age range. And he knows
he's going to get eliminated by hotter younger women and he doesn't want that.
And he kind of disproved it because you think he's smoking hot, but you
wouldn't have even given him a chance, Yeah, because he would have fallen
outside of your age range. So maybe that's part of his ploy. He
knows he's hot, so he doesn't want to be ruled out because of his
age. That doesn't mean it's not a red flag, but maybe that's maybe
people are doing it for that reason. Okay, could be all right.
Next one and back for Kate's Hot Takes Part two. Remember Kate Kate's Hot
Takes. First on the agenda, Pizza Pringles are the best new flavor of
Pringles. Thank you. Next, if you post on face Book complaining about
self checkouts or share of the viral post that says you can either trust me
to do self checkout or get your back cashiers back in place, blah blah
blah, you are a Karen, a top tier Karen. Okay. Lastly,
but most importantly, having a top sheet is unnecessary and cumbersome. Enjoy
dartlick, dart lick Love from Kate. Thank you, Kate. Always love
hearing from you on Kate's Hot Takes. We should actually maybe have her on
the show next week. Kate. I'm going to reach out to you the
next couple of days to have you on for Kate's Hot Takes, because last
time we did that, we didn't tell Drake that you were going to be
on, and so we're like, now it's time for Drake's Hot Takes,
and he's stand in the next studio all ready to go, and I'm like,
oh, sorry, it's Kate's Hot Takes. So Kate got to fill
the pressure that Drake feels because people want I think there are some people that
disagreed with some things Kate said on her hot takes. On the text,
that's what happens. You get immediate feedback. Going to forward this to Jenny
right now, Jenny, let's get her on for Kates Hot Takes. Okay,
So now look for an email Jenny, and we will get you back
on. Thank you, okay, next time. New game idea, All
right, I'm in. I found this game called Wavelength on Instagram reels.
You might have heard of it before, but I think it'd be a great
game for your show. I'm going to explain the rules. The group picks
a number one to ten, but this number has kept secret from one person.
The one person is going to try to guess that number at the end
of the game, and he gets one hint from each player. The guesser
gives each person a different category, and the hinter would then pick an item
in that category that would match the group's number. For example, categories could
be colors, whether foods or anything like that. For whether, if you
said seventy five and sonny, I'd be inclined to guess somewhere between eight and
ten. If you said forty and cloudy, that might be a three or
four. Okay, I kind of get it, Rob. I appreciate that.
We'll kind of workshop that one because that sounds kind of fun. I
am nine sure. This is a game that Ja told us about that she
played with Tina and her friends at a brewery, and we thought it sounded
fun, but we thought it sounded like it might get a little confusing for
the radio. Okay, but we could try it. Maybe, Yeah,
we can totally workshop that, I mean rob. A lot of the games
that we do, we play them off the air to make sure they work,
like we did one this morning called the thirty second or speed dating game,
and we kind of played with it off the air to see if anything
came out of it. It made us laugh, so we said, let's
play it on the radio. So Jenny and I played one yesterday that did
not make it on the radio, and we videoed it, but we decided
not to play it because Jenny, Jenny and I have both had probably above
average number of sexual partners in our time, and so we would throw out
a number like Okay, I am bidding three sexual partners. If you've had
more than three, then you say a higher number than three, or you
can drop out because you don't want to admit that you've had higher than three.
So I would say like okay, eight, and Jenny would say fifteen.
Yeah. Now at that point I could either go higher, but I
had to be honest, or I could say you win, because I didn't
want to admit that I had more than sixteen partner. Fifteen partners, So
Jenny and I think got up to like thirty two or something like that,
and then we dropped out yeah, and Jenny said, I don't want to
do it anymore out of respect for Andrew, and that was you know what
I mean. I don't judge women for the number of sex partners they've had.
I don't care. I know. The cliche is men go, oh,
you're a slut if you had your whatever. I don't. Personally,
I don't, you don't, but it is very true. You talk about
like you're you know, joking, but you're serious, like the number of
sexual encounters you've had, and no one's ever like you're disgusting. Dave,
you're such a whole. I disagree. I think that people have they just
don't say it outwardly. Well, they feel very comfortable saying it outwardly to
Jenny. I think that's the difference. A lot of people like, hahaha,
Dave, you're such a player, and a Jenny she gets a lot
of you're a whore. So that's another thing. It is a very real
thing, can I tell you. I think it's the same. There are
people who will say you're a whore because you've slept with X amount of people.
Those are the same people who no matter what, there will always be
a racist. No matter what, there will always be of homophobe. I
think that in the grand scope of things, I don't know what the ratio
is. But to regular people who go I don't care that you're gay,
do you want to go get a pizza? Or I don't care that you're
from this culture, do you want to come over watch Netflix? I think
that's the great majority of people. But there will always be the person who's
like, oh, you slept with five guys before you got married, you're
a slut, or oh you're gay, I want nothing to do with you.
There will always, in forever be that person. But I think I
see it in broad pictures of it's not that way. It's the one person
that it's like, go to the Mall of America. You're safe, You're
perfectly safe. But once in a while you hear something at the Mall of
America that's not good. Does that mean you're not safe at Mall of America.
No, it means that once in a while idiot comes in and causes
trouble. Right, so fucking idiots, am I right? Oh you're right
fucking everywhere? Okay, next one, let's see deleting that one let's go
to this one. I like these these are really really short this week and
today, and I really appreciate that. Hello. My name is Isabelle.
I'm Elena's daughter, and I want to give her a shout out. That's
my mom for being there when other people weren't there. She's seventeen and she
was the one who I think she wanted Taylor Swift tickets. Is that what
she wanted? Yesterday? Mom gave her a long, nice shout out,
yeah yesterday on the email that we read. I'm not sure if I don't
know, I don't remember. I next one Morning Show crew. I've been
a long time listener. I remember listening to Dave as a little girl in
the nineties. I'm in my thirties now. I never missed the Morning Show.
I just wanted to write into thank you guys for all you do for
your listeners when you don't even know it. I have horrible anxiety, and
although I'm on medication which helps, I still have bad days. On those
days when I'm home alone or driving in my car with an anxious pit in
my stomach, I turn on your podcast and instantly feel like I have four
friends trying to turn my day around or distract my anxious brain, and being
able to focus on something else truly is sometimes all I need. I hope
you know how much you do, how much you all mean to so many
people. Thank you from Jen Jen, thank you. I think that's one
of the things that we are aware of and we deliberately do, is that
we have become aware that we are important in the attitude that we project.
Not necessarily important to you or important to people, and I'm glad we are,
but it's important to the attitude that we project because a lot of DJs,
they don't really think about the people who listen to the show. They
think about themselves. And I think that's just kind of how it is.
It is like once in a while you meet, like you meet a trainer.
I get a trainer right now, and I complimented him yesterday. I
said, it is clear to me that you really care about how I'm doing.
It is clear to me when I came in that you weren't there to
sell me on a set of like a whatever that I wouldn't use, didn't
need whatever. I really got the idea that you cared for me. And
he's like, that's the business I'm in yeah, and I think that there
are probably trainers who are like man, I want to get as many clients.
I want to make as money much money as I can, and that's
great, there's nothing wrong with that. But I think that my trainer definitely
gives me the impression that they care. That's great, that's a good feeling,
and I think that's how our show is and I'm glad that you get
that impression. Hold on one second? Can you hold on for one to
two seconds? But way, hold on, sargain you check time? All
right? Let me check time here. No, I'm the actual like,
make sure we're not we'reth the talk over here? Do okay? We better
stop? Yeah, you're right, Okay, that is it. That is
going to do it. Hey, thanks for the short emails. I really
appreciate that. It makes everything a little bit easier. But we don't mind
the long ones. If you got to get a little bit long, that's
fine too. Ryan Show at kd WB dot com
